Li Shufu: Automobiles must be highly integrated with the Internet

On December 16, Li Shufu, chairman of Geely Holding Group, started a high-end cross-border "controversy" with IT personnel such as Sogou CEO Wang Xiaochuan at the "Second International Automotive Safety Summit Forum." Li Shufu acknowledged at the meeting that the automotive industry does face challenges from the outside world, but he believes that the automotive industry will not become a tech company's migrant workers, but the integration of the automobile and the Internet will become more and more close in the future. At the forum site, Li Shufu disclosed the unmanned driving plan that Volvo is currently preparing to implement. Its purpose is to realize the vision of “zero accidents, zero casualties” in 2020.

Reporter: At present, the automotive industry is brewing a quiet revolution. What do you think of the car after the future revolution?

Li Shufu: The automotive industry is indeed facing such a challenge. If anyone does not agree with this challenge, whoever is sure to die prematurely. I used to say that the car is four wheels plus a sofa, four wheels plus one engine. After the car must be four wheels plus a computer, then add a large battery. In the future, the first change in the displacement of automobiles will eventually change from traditional to electric, and then the mode of driving will also change. It will gradually develop into full automation, and no one needs to go. At that time, you weren't sitting in front of the car, you just sat in the middle of the rest, you set it up where it went, and where it went. I think this is a trend of development. I think this needs to be highly integrated with the Internet.

Reporter: In 2014 Volvo will launch a highly intelligent car in China. Can you see the shadow of the future car?

Li Shufu: I think that the application of automobiles from passive safety technology to active safety technology, to high intelligence, and ultimately to full intelligence, is in itself to solve the problem of traffic casualties. Volvo has been studying this for years. The XC90, which will be put on the market next year, must be highly intelligent. Once the upswing, the actions of artificial driving can be completely eliminated. Basically, it has the ability to cope with the road situation. One of the benefits of doing so is to save fuel, the second is environmental protection, and the third is safety. After two to three years of hard work and practical application, it is necessary to summarize what kind of software adjustments and improvements need to be made in this kind of automated driving technology before launching it into the world. I believe this is a major revolution in the human transportation industry and Volvo is doing this.

Reporter: To realize driverless and intelligent transportation, you need to rely on a lot of data. Are you playing the role of an IT industry?

Li Shufu: I think IT is IT, cars are cars, and there is a need for mutual dependence and cooperation. But I don’t think that an automobile company can be an IT company. As a company, it must be done very well. "Specialty". How to better integrate the automobile and IT and make people's traffic more convenient. People enjoy car culture and car culture more when they use the car. They don't need to find a way to drive cars, and they can handle offices in the car. Things like business, this I think is possible. In the future, more industries and the automobile industry will be merged to bring more advanced enjoyment to human beings. This is what everyone is pursuing.
